Gentoo Group | A Values-led Charitable Housing Organisation Based in Sunderland
Overview
The group provides more than 60,000 people with a place they can call home. Its work is built around a clear social purpose. Gentoo Group believes everyone should have the right to live in a good quality home they can afford.
The organisation invests millions of pounds each year into its existing homes. This helps keep homes safe, decent and fit for the people who live in them.
Gentoo Group also supports new housing in Sunderland. It builds hundreds of new, modern homes for rent, helping to respond to the wider housing shortage. Which is useful, given that “just wait for the market to fix it” has somehow not solved everything. Stunning development.
